1 Cleavage Stages of Vertebrate Development rapid cell division into a larger number of smaller cells no overall increase in size of the embryo ball of cells = the morula pattern is dependent on the amount of yolk

2

4 Figure 47.6 Cleavage in an echinoderm (sea urchin) embryo

5 Figure 47.8x Cleavage in a frog embryo

6

7 Stages of Vertebrate Development Formation of Blastula A hollow ball of cells

8 Figure 47.8d Cross section of a frog blastula

9

10 Gastrulation Stages of Vertebrate Development One wall of blastula pushes inward First opening to central gut = blastopore Three germ layers form endoderm (become internal organs) mesoderm (form bones, blood vessels, muscles, connective tissue) ectoderm (skin and nervous system) Pattern dependent on yolk distribution

11 Figure 47.9 Sea urchin gastrulation (Layer 1)

12 Figure 47.9 Sea urchin gastrulation (Layer 2)

18 Figure Early development of a human embryo and its extraembryonic membranes

19 Neurulation Stages of Vertebrate Development the cells above the notochord roll into a tube that pinches off = the neural tube (becomes the spinal cord)

20

21

22 Cell Migration Stages of Vertebrate Development Cells migrate to different parts of the embryo to form distant tissues Ex: cells of neural crest form sense organs the basic vertebrate body plan is formed

23 Stages of Vertebrate Development Organogenesis Tissues develop into organs

24 Table 47.1 Derivatives of the Three Embryonic Germ Layers in Vertebrates

25 Biogenic Law Ernst Haeckel Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny Developmental patterns of more recently evolved groups are built on more primitive patterns

28 Angiosperm Embryo Development Polar nuclei 3n endosperm 2n zygote Egg Sperm Micropyle Pollen tube

29 Stages of Plant Development Asymetric Early Cell Division Embryo Suspensor transfers food to embryo Cells near suspensor become root

30 Angiosperm Embryo Development Suspensor Endosperm Globular proembryo Cotyledon Shoot apical meristem Procambium Hypocotyl Ground meristem Cotyledons Shoot apical meristem First cell division Basal cell Protoderm Root apex (radicle) Endosperm Root apical meristem Cotyledons

31 Stages of Plant Development Tissue formation Protoderm Epidermal external surface of plant Ground Meristem Ground tissue food & water storage Procambium Vascular tissue xylem & phloem

32

33 Stages of Plant Development Seed formation One or two seed leaves (cotyledons) form May absorb food from endosperm Seed coat forms May exist in dormant state (hundreds of years) resistant to harsh conditions

37 Fruits Fruits are most simply defined as mature ovaries (carpels) -During seed formation, the flower ovary begins to develop into fruit

38 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. True Berries The entire pericarp is fleshy, although there may be a thin skin. Berries have multiple seeds in either one or more ovaries. The tomato flower had four carpels that fused. Each carpel contains multiple ovules that develop into seeds. Fused carpels Seed Outer pericarp Legumes Split along two carpel edges (sutures) with seeds attached to edges; peas, beans. Unlike fleshy fruits, the three tissue layers of the ovary do not thicken extensively. The entire pericarp is dry at maturity. Pericarp Stigma Seed Style

39 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Drupes Pericarp Single seed Exocarp (skin) enclosed Mesocarp in a hard Endocarp (pit) pit; peaches, plums, cherries. Each layer of the pericarp has a different structure and function, with the endocarp forming Seed the pit. Not split and with a wing formed from the outer tissues; maples, elms, ashes. Samaras Seed Pericarp

40 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Derived from many ovaries of a single flower; strawberries, blackberries. Unlike tomato, these ovaries are not fused and covered by a continuous pericarp. Aggregate Fruits Seed Sepals of a single flower Ovary Individual flowers form fruits around a single stem. The fruits fuse as seen with pineapple. Multiple Fruits Pericarp of individual flower Main stem

41 Fruits made for Dispersal Occurs through a wide array of methods -Ingestion and transportation by birds or other vertebrates -Hitching a ride with hooked spines on birds and mammals -Blowing in the wind -Floating and drifting on water

42

43 Stages of Plant Development Germination Seed absorbs water & metabolism resumes Need environmental cue (light, temp)

44 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. First leaves Plumule Cotyledon Hypocotyl Epicotyl Hypocotyl Withered cotyledons First leaf Coleoptile Scutellum Adventitious root Seed coat Primary roots Secondary roots Coleorhiza Radicle Primary root a. b.

45 Stages of Plant Development Meristematic Development Hormones influence meristematic activity allow development to adjust to the environment Body form determined by plane of cell division, cell shape & size

48 PLANT DEVELOPMENT Flexibility Plant bodies do not have a fixed size Number & size of parts is influenced by environment
